Just don't forget the laws of unintended consequences please. Chronic pain patients are already having a hard time finding a Dr because the Dr's are afraid of CDC/State/Federal guidelines. And the patients are suffering.

Laws, guidelines, letters. All open to interpretation. Requests made by Dr.s to have their patient's doses increases can still be denied. There will be a set of requirements that very few CPPs will have. Those without the means to jump through all the hoops will be left behind
-
Sen Lee knows. He was the only no vote on the Fed legislation because he thinks it's better handled at the local level. A true small govt conservative. One of the few left. But yes, those with money will not be in pain. Time to focus on heroin & fentanyl crossing the border

CPPs need an EMERGENCY REPEAL of CDC guidelines as they apply to us. Changing the CDC opioid guidelines could take years. We need help now. The least the CDC can do is to throw us a lifeline. The lives of CCPs and their families are at stake.

Until you stop punishing pain and adress the illicit issue, you won't fix anything!!

Less than 2% of people addict. Chronic pain patients need those medications 2b able 2 function. Untreated pain kills. Do u expect thousands upon thousands of people suffer & possibly die 4 the few that could 'maybe' become addicted? Do u have any idea the pain some ppl live with?

We should do what we did before we had opiate pain pills manufactured by the mass! Do I know what people used? Did you know they didn't have pain like all the people say they do

They used to have actual cocaine in coca cola. Or perhaps they drank a lot of liquor. If you don't know for sure, do your research. Just because it wasn't in a pill form, doesnt mean people used other things for pain. Pain meds are safe and effective. We know that for sure.

Amazing how those who suffer never ending pain are treated by society. We not the problem yet we are treated as Lepers....... wonder if these people kick dogs and steal candy from babies... no way because they would be ridiculed and banished yet this is OK
-
Yeah it's aggravating the lack of compassion for the suffering of others. They're no better than schoolyard bullies.

Oh man oh man. You say this, but you made healthcare less accessible, and I haven't seen you handing out clean needles or giving quarters to folks who sleep in laundromats.I agree with your statement. But not when it's only the community YOU decide is okay

You might want to consider the fact that rx opioids aren't the problem, check with your own medical examiners, they will tell you that ODs are due to fentanyl analogues. Those addicted will switch to whatever is available and cheap, that's fentanyl and heroin.

Patients with pain who have always been law abiding citizens are the ones suffering. We don't go out & look for illegal substitutes, because we don't want to get high, we want our medical providers to treat us. We want our meds in order to be active in life, now we're bedridden.

For every death from illegal use of a legal drug, you’ll find ten times that many people with chronic pain being taken off their pain pills.

Do NOT take pain relief from those who REALLY need it!!! Why are the innocent always punished in favor of the guilty?? This is an ABUSE crisis--not a opioid crisis.

Thank you
